US: Tennessee death row inmate Christa Pike is awake and speaking at a hospital, her lawyers said on Tuesday, six days after the state’s failed attempt to execute her by lethal injection twice last week left her unconscious and on a ventilator.“Against all odds, Christa Pike is conscious, speaking and continues to receive critical medical care,” her lawyers said. “Despite the severe damage she endured to her arms, she is still handcuffed and shackled to the bed. Her recovery is medically unprecedented.”
